From The Crown to The Last of Us, here are some of our favorite series of the year
The year 2023 brought to us multiple hits and misses on the OTT platforms. Viewers had to bid goodbye to some of their favorite shows, like Succession and The Crown. However, newer series and surprise renewals made it bearable. Today we are taking a look at some of the most popular series that etched a permanent spot in our hearts.
Crown: Season 6
The sixth season of the iconic show The Crown was released on Netflix in two parts. The first half was released in mid-November while the second half was released on the 14th of December. The final season of the award-winning show is deeply emotional, as it shows us the last few days before Diana, Princess of Wales met with a tragic accident. It also delves deep into the trauma it inflicted on the young Prince Williams and Prince Harry. The season is set between 1997 to 2005 when Tony Blair was prime minister. The period takes us through monumental events such as Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee, and the deaths of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. However, there are ample times when our hearts melt taking a look at the romance between a young Prince Williams and Kate Middleton as well as the wedding ceremony of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Succession: Season 5
The fifth season of Succession takes us on a journey to get a glimpse inside the lives of the ultra-rich Roy family. The comic tragedy examines their corporate decision-making as their patriarch Logan Roy is about to hand over the company to his most deserving child. His children, Shiv, Roman, and Kendall try their best at oneupmanship as they set on a path of betrayal, agony, and anger. The last season has given us some of the best one-liners and the razor-sharp wit of Logan Roy. As the season reaches its finale the tension and divide in the family keeps rising. With the sale of Waystar Royco looming over the family to a tech visionary, the siblings are anxious to see what change it would bring for them. The show has been directed by Jesse Armstrong and has won multiple Emmy Awards.

Ellie is one of the immune citizens left in the country. Joel plays a survivor who is tormented by the pandemic and is hard of hearing due to a gunshot.
